8 Best Beards In Football History

8. Arda Turan

The Barcelona midfielder is mostly known for his robust and cultured play-style. He rose to prominence most notably in the 13/14 season, playing a key role in Athelico's La Liga victory and Champions League run, which saw them as runners up in the final, to arch rivals Real Madrid no less.

Fearless in the tackle and smart in the pass, the bearded Turk is a good all-round footballer. His form for Barcalona and Turkey in the first half of the year was widely criticised, even getting booed at the Euro's by his own fans. However, the second half of 2016 has seen his good form return.

The reason of course being that he has let his beard grow freely, going to show that the secret of talents are directly liked to the power of his facial hair.
